AAMAS 2019

18th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems

Montreal, Canada, 13/05/2019 – 17/05/2019.

AAMAS (International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems) is the largest and most influential conference in the area of agents and multiagent systems. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners in all areas of agent technology and to provide a single, high-profile, internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. AAMAS is the flagship conference of the non-profit International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS).

The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 in Bologna, Italy as a joint event comprising the 6th International Conference on Autonomous Agents (AA), the 5th International Conference on Multiagent Systems (ICMAS), and the 9th International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages (ATAL).

Topics of InterestThe conference solicits papers addressing original research on autonomous agents and their interaction. In addition to the main track, there will be six special tracks: Robotics, Socially Interactive Agents, Engineering Multiagent Systems, Blue-Sky Ideas, JAAMAS, and Industrial Applications. Specific details and topics of interest for each track appear below:
